WE ARE THE TEMPLE

-

Psalms 122:1

I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD."


David loved to go to the temple, He was a worshipper. He knew it was the house of God. His greatest desire was to build the house of the Lord. He proved that He was after God's heart.


Jesus showed from a child that He did not disregard being in the temple.


Luke 2:46

Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.


We have a greater privilege today for we worship without the veil.


Not the building but we the believers are the temple, we come together to display His glory.


We are people redeemed and empowered to be sons.


* We hear and teach the word


* We worship . . . sing hymns and making melody to the Lord.


* We pray


Psalms 147:1

Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.


So I begin by building my own temple and everyone does, when we come together we can say it is the gathering of the body of Christ. Glory to God.


So I build myself as a temple, I build my family and household as a temple. I then build the church as a temple and finally we reflect God to the whole world that many would see the light and come to Him.


May my service not replace the privilege to worship.


May joy flow in and from our hearts one to another.


May envy, wrath and bitterness have no place. (one could be there and really not worship!)


May God be glorified when we gather.


Don't be left out.


PRAYER

Loving Father, make me and other believers all over the world clean temple for you. Bring us together as Your body, holy and separated for You. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

IF HE SAID IT, HE WILL DO IT

Joshua 21: 43-45 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. If the Lord promised it be rest assured that He will bring it to pass. The One He gave the promise to believed it whole heatedly and proved it by His obedience. The same with his son and further on to his grandson. Hebrews 11:8-9 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreig
